Tomb raiding: It all started with shocking the archaeological team.

Wu Daoshan was a veteran member of the Southern School of Heavenly Path Society. In the entire Southern School, he was a figure whose every move could shake the tomb raiding world.

But at this moment, he adopted a respectful and fawning demeanor.

As the sound of iron boots scraping against the bluestone slabs drew closer, no one could be seen in the blood mist ahead.

The footsteps suddenly stopped in front of him, and a terrifying face emerged from the blood mist, appearing in front of Wu Daoshan.

Although this was not the first time Wu Daoshan had faced this face, he couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine and his heart trembled every time he saw it.

The face was covered with a dark red jade mask. The dark red color was from blood seeping into it, and it was very deep. It would take thousands of years to seep into it to this extent.

But what's truly terrifying isn't the blood-stained jade mask, but the pair of eyes hidden beneath it—grim, deep, like a gaze from the abyss of hell, carrying an indescribable sense of oppressive power.

Even though Wu Daoshan had seen and experienced a lot in the world, he didn't dare to look into those eyes for more than three seconds, otherwise he would tremble as if his bloodline was suppressing him.

The reason why we didn't see his figure in the blood mist but saw his face first was because he was wearing a set of blood-red armor, almost blending into the blood mist.

And upon closer inspection, the blood-red material of this armor is very similar to the crimson ancient sword in Chen Yibai's hand.

He is the 'extraordinary person' in the Heavenly Path Society.

But in reality, he wasn't a member of the Southern School of Heavenly Paths, but someone Wu Daoshan met in Qishan half a month ago.

About seven or eight days ago, Wu Daoshan was waiting in Qishan to meet his apprentice, but the apprentice lost contact and unexpectedly encountered this 'extraordinary person'.

Judging from its appearance, Wu Daoshan initially thought it was a zombie that had escaped from an ancient tomb, but it could talk and even said it could take him to find the Tomb of Immortality!

Although the voice is rough and strange, how could it be a zongzi if it can talk?

Therefore, Wu Daoshan determined that this was a fellow professional. When asked his name, he only said the character "Kang," so Wu Daoshan simply called him Kang Yuanliang!

'Yuanliang' is a respectful title used in the tomb raiding industry.

In the business of tomb raiding, it's not uncommon to encounter all sorts of eccentric and unusual individuals.

Wu Daoshan initially had some doubts about his abilities.

Until he led himself all the way to the depths of the Qinling Mountains, directly to an ancient tomb in a corpse-raising ground, where he violently tore apart the wax corpse king with overwhelming force, and he also knew the ancient incantation and soul-driving techniques.

Wu Daoshan was finally convinced that this was a terrifying colleague. He thought that by following him, he would be invincible and could walk around any ancient tomb in the world with his eyes closed.

But to his surprise, after arriving at the Western Han Dynasty imperial tomb, he was stumped. Not only was he blocked outside the city for eight days, but he also lost dozens of his men.

Even so, Wu Daoshan dared not speak out against his anger and could only continue to fawn over him respectfully, not daring to offend him in the slightest.

Because this 'Kang Yuanliang' wasn't very skilled, but he had a lot of presence. He was covered in blood-red armor, was over two meters tall, and was imposing. He had a powerful and oppressive aura of a king. Standing in front of him, people didn't even dare to breathe too loudly.

If things were to fall out, Wu Daoshan feared he would end up like that Corpse King, torn apart alive...

"Kang Yuanliang, another competitor has arrived. We don't know his background yet, but his strength..."

Before Wu Daoshan could finish speaking, Lord Kang slowly nodded, seemingly already knowing everything.

Seeing how readily Kang Yuanliang nodded, Wu Daoshan became even more suspicious. Had he really been hiding for the time he disappeared?

"Could it be... that they still know each other?"

Upon thinking of this, Wu Daoshan subconsciously frowned.

He clearly knows almost all the top tomb raiders in the country, and without exaggeration, he is among the top-tier tomb raiders in China.

But at this moment, why does it feel like there's an even more sophisticated tomb raiding ring above us?

Let's leave those aside for now.

When Wu Daoshan heard that there was no sound from inside, he looked at Kang Yuanliang and asked in a low voice, "Kang Yuanliang, what do we do now?"

Kang Yuanliang turned his gaze to the alleyway filled with blood mist. The pair of strange eyes under the jade-covered face were impossible to fathom. He simply uttered a single word: "Chase!"

The entire jade mask only had two holes cut out for the eyes. The word "chase" came out from under the jade mask. Whether it was because the jade mask was covering it or for some other reason, the sound was particularly strange. It sounded like it was being made from the nose by pinching one's throat, with a "whooshing" sound at the end.

"what?"

Upon hearing the word "chasing," Wu Daoshan exclaimed in surprise, "Ah!" He originally wanted to ask a few more questions, but then thought better of it.

Kang Yuanliang was extremely sparing with his words.

In the few days I've known him, the longest sentence he's ever uttered has never exceeded six words.

It's probably a sore throat or something wrong.

Since Kang Yuanliang had already said to go in and chase after them, Wu Daoshan turned his head and gave a look to his men beside him, signaling them to go first.

When there's danger, of course, it's the men who rush to the front; otherwise, what's the point of keeping them around?

Now Wu Daoshan only has these six subordinates left, all of whom he has painstakingly trained over the past ten years.

More than twenty people have already died. If we don't find anything on this trip, it will be a huge loss.

The men next to him immediately understood the meaning in Wu Daoshan's eyes. After all, they had just escaped from inside just a few hours ago, and now they had to go back in. They must be under a lot of psychological pressure.

But under the intimidating gaze of Wu Daoshan, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk back into the alley.

Wu Daoshan and Kang Yuanliang followed closely behind.

As I just mentioned, this isn't the first time they've come in.

But this time when I came in, the alley was unusually quiet.

Until you reach the end, then turn another corner.

Wu Daoshan was shocked to see an unbelievable, terrifying scene that sent chills down his spine.

In the alley, a large pile of Jinwu Guard corpses lay scattered haphazardly!

The most horrifying thing was that none of the Jinwu Guard's corpses were intact; almost all of them were cut in half at the waist, along with their armor, with clean cuts. Thick, black corpse fluid flowed on the ground, and a pungent stench permeated the blood mist.

This……

How sharp a knife must it be, and how strong a force must it be, to accomplish this?

Looking at the horrific scene before him, Wu Daoshan could almost picture the tragedy that had occurred there. A chill ran down his spine, and his entire body went cold; his scalp tingled with fear.

This was completely beyond Wu Daoshan's comprehension.

This really shows there's always someone better than you!

So how can we play this?
